Mated To The Alpha Kings

Chapter 36 Blood (2)



My wide eyes met Knox's gray once who was waiting for an explanation, "I... I'm sorry I... I don't know why I did that, I just... wanted to taste it." I stuttered, trying hard not to cry. I can't believe I just did that. A glint flashed in his eyes, "So? You like it?"

I couldn't deny even though I wanted to, I could only nod "Gosh, I'm a monster!"

"Shh, it's okay. Just breathe, you are not a monster, you are my mate, my beautiful mate."

The tears freely rolled down my eyes, I buried my face in his arms, crying. Thankfully, Knox didn't mind the tears and snorts all over his shirt, he just seemed at lost on what to do. After a while, I calmed down, but I was too embarrassed to look at Knox. Not just that, I know he has questions to ask, but how would I answer? Even I do not know what came over me. Firstly, I licked his blood, secondly, I'm straddling him and lastly, I just cried all over him like a hormonal pregnant woman! Now, I need to think of a way to get down from his strong lap because my body is reacting to our close proximity.

Knox must have sensed what I'm planning because he pulled me closer, his hands rested on my backside, trapping me. I was forced to look at him. My breath hitched as I realized our faces were inches apart, his eyes flickered to my lips then to my eyes as if asking for permission to kiss me.

I gulped, "Um, Knox... Oh!" before I could speak, he crushed his lips on mine in a searing kiss.

The kiss was entirely different from the ones I had with Rakel. While Rakel would dominate my lips, Knox let me explore his lips. And honestly speaking, I'm enjoying being in control for the first time, but the control only lasted for a short while before he took over. Knox's lips parted as my tongue shyly seek entrance into his mouth, stars burst behind my eyelid as our tongues met. I felt like I'm on cloud nine, not only that, but I wanted more.

He moved his mouth over mine, like a dance. While my tongue seeks him, he'd try to avoid mine while teasing me at the same time. He's a good kisser, I never thought one will enjoy kissing this much. I felt his hand slid down my exposed back. His other hand found my breast. Squeezing it lightly, Knox explored my curves as lips trail towards my neck. My hands went into his white soft hair as my nipples harden against my dress.

He continued playing with my breast, squeezing and tugging at my nipple, the sensation made me wet, my entrance ache. I wanted his hands down there, however, he avoided touching in the spot I wanted. He only focused on kissing and exploring my curves.

Knox broke the kiss when we both needed air. With his closed, he rested his forehead against mine "You will be the death of me, Delaney" he whispered.

I blinked "Huh?"

His eyes open, instead of the gray ones, I met the slightly red ones. He blinked again and they back to gray. Knox instantly got up, set me on my feet, "Are you done eating?" Huh? Why is talking about food after when he left my body craving for more?

In the end, I nodded, "Yeah, I'm done." I won't be able to stomach anything again, not when I tasted blood. Blood! My stomach churned as I thought about it again, I quickly asked Knox for the restroom, in which he pointed out, then dashed towards it before he could say anything. Locking the door behind me, I bent over the sink, puking out everything I ate. Afterward, I wash my mouth and stared at my pale face in the mirror. What is wrong with me? Why would I do such a thing and even like it? 'It's curiosity,' I thought, trying to console myself. I guess I was curious about what his blood tasted like... but why would I forget everything around me, even myself, just because of his blood?

I remained in the bathroom for a while, took a deep breath before deciding to go meet Knox. However, the moment I opened the door, I was faced with Knox who gazed at me in concern, "Are you okay?" I nod.

He gave me his hand, I took it, "Where are we going?"

He flashed me a small grin that left me drooling "The rooftop. Scared?"

I was surprised by his reply, though I was scared, I couldn't help but anticipate going to one. As a child growing up fearing my stepdad, I've always been cautious of everything I do so as not to draw attention to myself. Even at work, I do what I'm supposed to do, go home and either sleep, read books or watch movies. I'm even scared to apply for jobs in big companies, all because of him! I fear that my stepdad will discover my whereabouts. God knows where he is right now, still in prison? Or doing drugs? Wherever he is, I know he's still out there searching for me. Instead of answering Knox, I tug his hand and kept moving forward. He should be able to tell what I'm feeling through the bond, even though my walls are shut tight.

A gasp left my lips when we arrived at the rooftop, "It's beautiful." you could see the city from here, the lights were breathtaking and above all the stars in the night sky. I jumped when I felt Knox hand wrapped around my waist, "Easy, so you won't fall."

I smirked, "You'll catch me before I fall."

He cocks his head, "True."

I found a spot a little far from the edge and lied on the floor, so I could look at the stars. Knox also joined me, "I guess this is where we start talking about ourselves."

My eyebrows raised at that. Why does he keep surprising me tonight? Romantic too. The Knox I know isn't romantic,, so I couldn't help but wonder if it's all an act, so I could choose him. And that's what I'm afraid of the most because if he keeps this act up, I might fall for him and I want to avoid falling in love with the wrong person. "You want to know about me?"

"Of course, as my mate, I realized I know nothing about you and likewise. Similarly, we started out on a wrong foot and because of what happened the last time, you don't trust me. So, it's only right to gain the trust I lost, right?"

I nodded "Right. However, I don't have much to say about me."

"I'm still interested," he grumbled.

"Okay... here it goes..." I told him about me being an orphan, how I got a scholarship and end up here. And I literally didn't mention anything about my stepdad. Knox listened quietly without saying anything, I don't know if he suspected that I left out some details, he did, he didn't show it. "So, how about you? I'm sure you have a lot to tell me, since you've lived for hundreds of years."

"Don't make it sound like I'm old," he said helplessly.

I shrugged, "You are old."

He chuckled, "Anyway, let me tell you a story instead."

At this moment, I felt the same ache I felt earlier this evening, in my lower tummy. This time it was so painful, like cramps... wait, when was the last time I saw my menstrual period? Mine isn't monthly like most women, at times I see my period every two months or three, so I don't usually keep track of it.

"Hey! Are you listening?"

I blinked, "Yup, carry on."

"A long time ago, there was a young vampire prince who lived happily with his parents. That was a time when humans, vampires, and some other supernatural beings lived in harmony. The prince was sheltered, he grew up to be the only vampire who has never drank blood. He prefers any other thing but blood. A time came when he met a girl, a human girl, who he fell in love with and wanted to marry her.

However, when he told his parents about it, they blatantly refused, they forbid him from seeing her because he's a royal. Royals are supposed to mate with their kind to carry on with the family lineage. The young prince was devastated when he heard this, he didn't agree with his parents, so he came up with a plan to bring the girl into the palace, he wanted to hide her there, only he didn't know the girl was a spy. It was her plan all along to get into the palace, the prince was merely her..." he suddenly stopped, causing me to frown.

"Her what? Why did you stop?" the story was so intriguing that I couldn't wait to hear the rest.

I turned to look at him only to freeze, my heart skipped when I saw Knox's fangs elongated, his eyes red. "Um... Knox? Are... are you okay?" I asked, my heart pounding.

"I smell blood."

"What?" I slowly backed away from him, "Knox you're scaring me."

His scarlet eyes met mine, "You're bleeding" he gritted out. That was it registered in my head, the cramps... my period just started! Of all days to start, why now? I recall Knox telling me he hasn't fed since I left, does that mean he would lose control like he did the last time? Just the thought of him feeding on me made me shiver from fear.

Knox stood up and approached me how a predator stalks his prey, I could see it in his eyes, he's slowly losing control.

"Knox please... don't come closer," I whispered, glancing behind me, I've neared the edge of the rooftop so I couldn't move any further. I was trapped. Tears began rolling down my face, oh God, I'm going to die today. I'm really going to die...
